An Introduction To Gourmet Popcorn Denver

By Linda Ruiz


The food we know as popcorn is not something that is generally thought of a substantial. Indeed like bubblegum the term is often used to deride something as empty and lacking in substance. However this does not necessarily have to be the case. Just as a lot of producers have made twists on burgers, hot dogs and so forth there are also gourmet popcorn Denver companies who have produced their own distinct twist on this cinema favourite!

As a foodstuff this snack has been around for centuries. Some research even suggests that it may well have been served at the first Thanksgiving. Others suggest the eating of heated kernels of corn may go back even further. However our modern day association with the snack and cinema goes back to around the Thirties in the United States.

The first difference happens when the corn is being grown. The soil is specifically formulated in order to produce a chewier texture than the variety you would get in a cinema or at the supermarket. It is also said that this kind of corn can pop up to sixty times larger than its original seed!

In recent times companies have put their own twist on this foodstuff. The main twist is with how it is produced. Unlike their Thirties predecessors this particular brand of corn has been specifically produced with a richer soil. This means that once the corn is popped it can expand from forty to sixty times its original size!

Indeed a lot of the time this variety produces a chewier texture that is distinctly different from the crunchier variety that you would get in a cinema. Admittedly some people prefer this crunch. As with any food it is a matter of personal preference and some producers may vary in their approach in order to achieve different types of taste and texture.

There are a wide array of producers so how the snack is produced will vary. However a lot of independent producers will tend to steer clear of artificial butter and toppings in favour of more natural ingredients and flavourings. This is not necessarily right or wrong but is totally down to your own personal preference.

Some people may avoid eating popcorn because they think it is unhealthy. While this can be true if the snack is topped with butter or salt it does not necessarily have to be. A number of producers deliberately avoid adding butter or salt so that they can market their brand as low fat. Some research even suggests that this particular brand of snack can even aid digestion!

It has to be emphasised that there are a lot of different types of gourmet popcorn available. As well as different flavours there are different methods of production and producers. It is worth looking online to find out what is available in your local area as well as looking for online retailers. You can also look to see if reviewers have tested the products and get their feedback before you buy!
